Hi. I'm new on the board. I've been reading it for a long while though. You guys have all been a great help to me!
I was diagnosed with anxiety a couple of months ago. So far I'm coping okay, but theres only one symptom that bothers me above everything else.
Sometimes when I wake up, or just about to go to bed, I see flickering in the lights around me are flickering. I know that it's really not flickering because it sometimes happens in bright natural light, and i'm sure that the sun doesn't flicker. It usually goes away within a minute.... I remember that i used to get these for a short period a couple of years ago, and it went away... now it's come back...
Sometimes when I close my eyes to sleep, I feel like i see something flickering as well ..
I get so paranoid about this that everytime I'm in a room with a fluorescent light that's flickering, i need to double check with everyone that it really is flickering.
Does anyone else have this problem? It's so annoying because i have perfect vision throughout the day, but when i wake or go to bed, i get these kind of disturbances.
I think they bother me so much because my biggest fear is having a neurological disorder.
